Add remote app support functionality like OneDrive is currently offering
OneDrive now offers support for starting in background for RemoteApp. I tried the same regkey for Box but it didn't work, can the same functionality be added for Box Drive?

Notarize the application for MacOS
Box Drive seems to be notarized, however the Box Tools / Box Edit installer is currently not, so my system warns me that this is "an application downloaded from the internet".

Freeing up space with Box Sync
I would like the ability to save the Box sync folder onto a different drive on my PC. Currently, it's on the C drive, but it fills up FAST, so it would be incredibly beneficial for me to save it to another drive on it.
Barring that, I'd like the ability to free up space on my Box folder so that it's only on my machine when I need it.

Request to increase the maximum number of users to be enabled with [Enable for select users and groups] for [Mark for Offline] in Box Drive.
I want to enable [Mark for Offline] for Box Drive and release it for some users. However, the number of users we want to register exceeds the upper limit of 100, so we would like to request to increase the upper limit of [Enable for select users and groups]. We believe this update would improve the useability and increase the efficiency among the users.

利便性も向上し、業務効率化に繋がるため、実現に向けてぜひ対応してほしい。1 vote -
Have sync centralised in cloud and automatically sync between website and computers
Keep the concept in Box Sync where you choose what folders you want to sync on Box.com or via Box Drive on computer. Then Box.com and all computers using Box Drive should sync those folders. I don't understand why we currently use "Make Available Offline" feature to individualise syncing for each computer instead for all computers of same account.
Also, documentation says you lose these offline files once you log out of Box Drive. That's a pain if you have to redo choosing which folders to make available offline.
Overall, sync like in Box Sync is a…

Ability to restrict fonts based on OS across all platforms
Wants a setting to restrict the usage of characters that are restricted in the OS. for example, Box webapp allows more characters that Windows OS allows. This result in inconsistency when using Box Drive, what appears in Box Drive and what actually exists in Webapp.

Ability to lock files from within application once they're open
Our users would like the ability to lock a file once they have already opened a file in Box Edit/Box Drive/Box for Office.
They would like the ability to do this within the document without having to navigate back to the webapp or sync to lock the file.
9 votesBox for Office automatically locks a file when it’s being worked on. We don’t currently have plans to do this or Box Edit.

finder tag
I use tags very often in my work to keep track of certain documents and where they are in the process. It is very frustrating to me that I cannot tag documents in Box Drive and have them come up in my sidebar on Finder. Is there a solution to this? Is this a feature that will be added soon? If it is not in the cards for Box Drive, I will have to migrate to Dropbox, which does support this feature for Finder Tags.

Identify locally any failed uploads
Hi, we have had users send entire folders with dozens if not hundreds of subfolders up to Box via Box Drive. In some cases, since they aren't reviewing all of the content they are uploading, there are some failures (inappropriate file or folders names, unsupported file types, etc). Box Drive names the failed uploads but offers no way to identify them in the Box Drive folder structure on the local machine. There are no icon changes that might identify those containing folders which have the failed uploads within them. A simple right click in the notification to show the…

How do log into Drive, we'd all like to know. Horrible UX
The simple task of being able to login to Drive. I was forced out and can't for the life of me get the login screen to pop up. I have looked at your search, and you only have a log out option, which also doesn't work. I have googled "how do you log into box DRIVE" and the only thing that comes up is how to log into your via a browser. Why is it this hard to log into a service ?

DLP
When copying content from Box Drive to an external volume, Sophos DLP is unable to capture information about this event.
According to the Sophos team, this is a result of Box Drive relying on a legacy file system filter driver, CBFS.
It is suggested that Box update Box Drive to work with Windows file system minifilter drivers as opposed to CBFS. That way DLP could monitor and capture these events.
Statement from Microsoft regarding legacy file system drivers as opposed to minifilter drivers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ifs/blocking-file-system-filter-drivers
